Sunday Sermon
Text: Revelation 19:1-10
God's kingdom is a kingdom of joy. There is no sadness, all is joy. The word "hallelujah" which means praise be to God, is not only an expression of praise but also of celebration. What are the reasons for joy heaven? What important thing takes place in the sky?
The sky rejoices in the trial of God (v.1-5). God is just, given the correct payment to those who do evil. Judge all that is corrupt and who corrupt others. Judge those who are opposed to believers and have been martyred. Cleansed of evil throughout the land, this is a reason for rejoicing. No we rejoice in the misfortune of others but by the end of evil. This trial provides salvation for mankind, and highlights the glory and power of God, so believers are invited to celebrate this act of justice.
The sky is enjoyed by the reign of Jesus (v. 6). whole host of heaven joined in praise to worship and celebrate the reign of Christ. Not before he might not reign, but after judging the evil reign on earth is evident in view of everyone, and therefore he loves. Jesus takes total control of the earth and takes his dominion over men.
The sky rejoices in the marriage of the Lamb (v.7-9). The Marriage of the Lamb is the spiritual and eternal union between church composed of all believers in Christ, symbolized as the bride and Jesus Christ, symbolized as a bridegroom. It will be the moment of encounter with our Lord, the most glorious day of our lives. It invites us to rejoice and be glad for this day, but it also asks us to prepare ourselves so that we can get the white robes and introduce ourselves appropriately to the groom, for them we have in our righteousness and holy lives.
The Lord invites all men to join this wedding, but not all receive the invitation, let us feel privileged to be part of the bride of the lamb and live so that we are worthy of being accepted by Jesus.
